Classification of lead crystal ornaments under HS 7013.91
Lead crystal ornaments are classified under HS code 7013.91. This classification is based on the material composition and the intended use of the product. Chapter 70 covers glass and glassware, while heading 7013 is dedicated to glassware used for table, kitchen, toilet, office, indoor decoration, or similar purposes. The subheading 91 is specifically designated for lead crystal. To qualify for this classification, the glass must typically have a minimum lead monoxide content, often 24% by weight, which gives the crystal its characteristic clarity, weight, and refractive index. These items are decorative rather than functional containers, which distinguishes them from bottles or jars.

Codes often confused with 7013.91
Common mistake. These ornaments are often misclassified under HS code 7013.22 or 7013.33, which refer to stemware and other drinking glasses of lead crystal. While the material is the same, the form and function differ. Another common error is classification under HS code 7018.10, which covers glass beads and imitation jewelry. If the item is a standalone decorative ornament rather than a component for jewelry, 7013.91 is the correct code. Finally, non-lead crystal ornaments (glass with less than 24% lead) fall under 7013.99.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
